To all:- I am hopeful those who know the old Simcoe and Peel names will take a peek at the finished 1911 census pages.

Hi Muriel, I tried to do as you listed below to point out a correction, but was unsuccessful. So I thought I would just write you incase you could make the correction yourself. I noticed it was you who transcribed Enumeration District 36: Brampton, Peel, Ontario, page 10. Regarding lines 28-31, the Gowland family. I am a descendant of Thomas and Sarah. Their daughters Bessie and Jessie are listed with them. It was transcribed that Bessie, on line 30 was born Nov 1864 and was 47. But if you clearly look at the original page the year is listed as 1884, age 27. This actually isn't correct either, as I have Bessie's birth registration which states she was born in Nov 1882, so when the 1911 census was done she was actually 28+. Thanks in advance if you can indeed make this correction, at least to what the original shows.
